19 CHAPTER 19

Sofia's POV

"Why did I accept to come here again?" I mumbled under my breath as I stared in disgust at the couples that were busy shoving their tongues down each other's throats.

It reminded me of Aaron and of the romantic night we shared together. I blushed as I thought about the things he did to me.

He can be such a perv!

"HELLO. SOFIA, IS THIS REALLY YOU???" Cara shouted over the music and I had to cover my ears to prevent permanent danger to my poor tympanic membranes.

She pulled me into a tight hug and I just had to smile. Still the same Cara though, with her killer hugs.

"So, how have you-" she stopped and stared at me in horror.

"What? What is it?" I said as I started panicking too, not knowing what was wrong with my body. Did I have a large stain? Have I pooped on myself?

"Don't tell me you actually wore that to come here" She said gasping and putting her hand over her mouth in utter horror.

"What? What's wrong with my clothes?" I said confused as I stared at my jeans and t-shirt with boots. We were in a nightclub and I had come here directly from work.

She on the other hand...

Let's just call her dress a mosquito net that left nothing to imagination.

I rolled my eyes at her dramatics. I can see she hasn't changed one bit.

We both sat down and she ordered drinks I hadn't heard of.

"So, Sofia, why the sudden change of mind?" She suddenly asked me raising her brow.

"Well, let's just say that I've had some problems..." I said and she scoffed.

"YOU, and PROBLEMS don't go in the same sentence, honey. I know you too well." She said narrowing her eyes at me.

"EXCEPT, you finally became less boring and more nasty." She said wiggling her brows with a playful expression and whispering the nasty part at me, making me blush.

Her eyes widened probably on seeing my blush.

"Oh my God, innocent little Sofia has gone nasty. What a cruel world." She said gasping and covering her mouth for dramatic effect making me burst out laughing and soon after, she joined me.

When we sobered up, she spoke again.

"I'm happy that you finally accepted to come work with me. Those idiots don't know what gem they have lost" She spoke sincerely.

"Thank you" I answered.

"Great. You can start in two weeks" She said and just in time, our drinks arrived and we cheered before drinking.

"Thank you so much Cara. I owe you this one." I said.

"Oh, but don't I know dear?" She responded with a mischievous glint in her eyes.

Oh no. What have I gotten myself into?

Irina's POV

I freaking hate him!!!

"So, what do you think, amore?" He asked with a wicked glint in his eyes and I almost stabbed him with the knife in my hand.

"Well, I still think my steak is wayyyyy better than yours" I answered sticking my nose up like a brat (that I probably was), and crossing my arms across my chest.

It was a Saturday evening, a busy hour for the restaurant. Miguel said he would come help me which totally surprised me because I didn't know he could cook.

And now here we are, the customers, the rest of my family (and me secretly) going mad over his meals. I've got to admit. He's pretty good.

We were done for the day and Jessica had already cleaned up so we decided to make cheeseburgers for ourselves.

I heard him chuckle, then he spoke again

"OK, then let's ask your mother, shall we?" He said and my eyes widened.

"No, not her she would totally embarrass me." I said and face palmed when I realised I actually said that out loud.

This time, he burst out laughing and then sobered up.

"You know, you're a tough but to crack, but so very worth it." He said his eyes shining with sincerity and I melted internally.

Now all I wanted to do was to kiss the hell out of him and run my hands through his black locks.

And so I did.

He looked surprised for a moment and soon, we were full on making out on the counter, the cheeseburgers long forgotten.

"Ewwwwww, get a room guys." We broke to see Sally staring at us with disgusted eyes.

I blushed now feeling embarrassed and Miguel just grinned as if satisfied with the situation, making me glare at him. Jerk!!!

"Ugh, you guys suddenly cut my appe-" she stopped mid-sentence when her eye caught the cheeseburgers on the table.

I sighed.

"You can have them." I said and she squealed taking out the fruit juice from the fridge and the tray on the counter before running out of there.

I chuckled at her antics and looked back at Miguel.

"Now, where were we?"

************

Unknown's POV

FINALLY, I found her.

She looked just like before. If she thinks I wouldn't recognise her because of that ridiculous outfit, then she is so damn wrong.

Though the blonde hair makes her look hotter, I prefer the dull brown locks coupled with the dull brown eyes.

This time, I intend on taking her and making her MINE ALONE for ever.

Here, I come, Lavanya, my cookie.
